PREFACE, 


Texas,  included  in  Spanish  Florida,  was  one  of  the  earliest 
discovered  and  explored  of  the  territories  now  constituting  the 
United  States. 

But  without  metallic  treasures  to  tempt  Spanish  cupidity,  and 
unknown  to  the  colonizing  nations  on  the  North  Atlantic,  this 
region  long  remained  unsettled. 

By  mistake  a  company  of  Frenchmen  under  La  Salle  landed  in 
1685  on  the  Texan  coast,  and  made  a  settlement,  which  four 
years  later  perished  in  blood.  Next,  moved  by  jealousy,  came 
the  Spaniards  and  occupied  Texas  by  a  system  of  presidios  and 
missions  till  the  triumph  of  the  Mexican  Revolution  in  1821. 

Nothing  remained  of  the  efforts  of  France  at  colonizing  Texas 
save  the  shadowy  memory  of  a  few  great  names  like  La  Salle, 
St.  Denis,  and  La  Harpe. 

The  chief  impress  of  Spain  upon  Texas  was  in  geographical 
names;  and  besides  these,  there  was  at  the  end  of  Spanish  rule 
only  feeble  settlements  around  the  presidios,  and  a  few  stately 
mission  ruins  to  tell  the  story  of  the  unavailing  labors  of  the 
Franciscans. 

Retrogression  had  long  set  in  before  the  coming  of  the  Anglo- 
American.  Austin's  "Original  Three  Hundred"  were  the  first 
to  inaugurate  permanent  settlement.  The  descendants  of  the 
home-builders  on  the  Atlantic  and  in  the  Mississippi  valley  were 
the  first  home-seekers  in  Texas.  And  it  was  they  who  builded 
and  compacted  the  Republic  of  Texas,  developing  into  orderly 
communities  and  uniting  for  defense  against  the  encroachments 
of  tjiranny. 

The  struggle  in  Texas  was  between  the  Anglo-American  and 
the  Indo-Spaniard. 

Almost  without  exception,  the  raw  troops  who  stormed  San 
Antonio  Ce  Bexar,  and  who  annihilated  the  Mexican  army  at 
San  Jacinto,  were  Americans  all,  and  sons  not  unworthy  of   the

sires  of  '76.  And  no  truer  oblation  was  ever  offered  to  Libert}' 
than  the  blood  of  the  Alamo  Martj-rs  and  of  the  Victims  of  per- 
fidy on  the  Coleto. 

From  those  heroic  times  of  the  Republic  have  come  down  to 
us  a  corporal's  guard  of  the  Texas  Veterans,  with  forms  once 
proud  and  erect  in  the  ranks  of  freedom,  but  now  bent  with  age 
and  infirmity.  Surel}',  Texas,  created  and  ennobled  by  their 
sacrifices,  can  not  do  too  much  to  honor  the  Veterans,  and  make 
pleasant  their  declining  days. 

With  the  growing  importance  of  Texas  has  come  a  desire  for 
more  accurate  knowledge  of  its  origin  and  history. 

Failures  in  our  historical  work  have  been  due  chiefly  to  un- 
scientific methods  and  inaccessibility  of  the  earliest  material. 
But  the  treasures  of  Americana  relating  to  Texas  are  now  com- 
ing to  light,  and  the  canons  of  history-writing  are  being  scien- 
tifically taught  in  the  University  of  Texas,  and  doubtless  in  our 
other  educational  institutions.  In  the  netv  epoch  just  at  hand 
the  historian  of  Texas  will  be  expected  to  go  over  the  whole 
ground  of  inquir}^  to  state  nothing  except  upon  authority,  and 
to  be  loyal  to  the  truth,  above  man,  party,  or  country. 

This  Bibliography  should  be  helpful  to  workers  in  this  field, 
by  pointing  out  the  sources  of  information,  and  perhaps  also  by 
the  critical  notes. 

For  its  preparation,  I  have  had  exceptional  advantages  by 
virtue  of  my  connection  with  the  State  Library,  it  having  been 
part  of  my  duties  to  collect  historical  data  for  Texas. 

With  reference  to  its  arrangement,  I  have  regretted  that  I  did 
not  see  Dr.  Week's  "  Bibliographj^  of  the  Historical  Literature 
of  North  Carolina"  until  near  the  end  of  my  labors.  Other 
defects  I  would  fain  excuse  by  pleading  the  difficulties  inherent 
in  all  pioneer  undertakings. 

It  is  not  claimed  that  this  work  is  complete  in  its  list  of  books; 
but  it  is  at  least  a  beginning. 

The  labor  of  its  compilation  has  been  to  me  a  source  of  pleas- 
ure; and  my  gratification  will  be  only  increased  should  it  tend 
to  push  investigation  into  the  sources  of  Texan  history. 

My  acknowledgments  are  due  to  many  persons;  particularly

In  the  parentheses  the  first  fio^ures  indicate  the  time  of  the  birth  of  the 
author,  and  the  second  fij?ures  his  death;  the  initials  before  indicate 
the  State  or  country  where  born,  as  in  "Baker,  D.  W.  C.  (Me.,  1834- 
81).''  it  is  meant  that  Mr.  B.  was  born  in  Maine,  1834,  and  died  in  1881 ; 
and  in  "  Baker,  Capt.  Mosely  (Ala.,  Texas,  18;}4-48)."'  it  is  meant  that 
Capt.  B.  came  from  Alabama  to  Texas  in  1834  and  died  in  1848. 

"  Tex.''  is  never  used  to  indicate  the  birthplace  of  anyone;  and  where 
"Tex.,  1851,"  is  found  after  the  name  of  J.  M.  Carlisle,  it  should  be 
Tenn.,  18nl.  meaning  that  he  was  born  in  Tennessee,  1851. 

The  spellino^  in  the  Index  is  the  standard,  and  corrective  of  typo- 
graphical errors  in  the  body  of  the  book,  as  '"Carl,  Prinzen,'"  becomes 
"Carl.  Prinz;"  "Ed  Clarke"  becomes  "'  Ed  Clark,"  etc. 

As  to  errors  which  can  not  be  reached  that  way,  after  Du  Pratz 
'' T-ouisiana"  should  be  T>ouisiaiie;  and  after  Gigedo-iievilla,  "1891" 
should  be  1831;  and  after  Pierce,  '"Simmons"  should  be  Summers.  After

PERSONAL. 

The  compiler  begs  leave  to  refer  briefly  to  a  few  events  of  his  life: 

Left  college  when  a  junior  at  Princeton,  in  1858.  in  the  crisis 
of  1860-Gl  (following  his  father,  Thos.  A.  Raines,  and  his  elder 
brother,  Rob't  T.  Raines),  was  a  warm  supporter  of  Sam  Houston 
and  the  Union.  When  war  came,  believing  with  Stephen  A.  Doug- 
las, that  in  the  last  extremity,  every  man  ought  to  fight  for  his  own 
countrj'^,  took  up  arms  for  Texas,  and.  as  Texas  joined  the  Confederacy, 
entered  the  Confederate  service  under  Capt.  (later  Gen.)  R.  M.  Gano. 

Was  Countj^  Judge  and  ex  officio  County  Superintendent  of  Public  In- 
struction for  Van  Zandt  county.  187G-78.  and  for  Wood  county,  1886-90. 

The  present  volume  is  the  result  of  labors  begun  years  before,  but 
never  systematized  till  after  his  four  years  service  in  the  State  Library.

THE  MATEEIALS  OF  EARLY  TEXAN  HISTORY. 


Barely  thirty  years  had  elapsed  after  the  coming  of  Columbus 
before  the  islands  and  the  western  main,  including  the  great 
empire  of  Montezuma,  had  submitted  to  the  all-conquering  arms 
of  Spain. 

The  Gulf  of  Mexico  had  been  explored  and  its  general  out- 
lines mapped,  the  Mississippi  river  appearing  on  the  charts  under 
the  name  of  El  Rio  Espiritu  Santo. 

While  the  rage  of  conquest  was  at  its  highest,  Panfilo  de  Nar- 
vaez,  in  1526,  sought  and  obtained  authorit}^  as  a  requital  for 
his  losses  in  Mexico,  to  conquer  and  govern  "the  provinces  of 
the  main  extending  from  Rio  Palmas  to  the  Cape  of  Forida." 

For  this  enterprise  Narvaez  provided  five  ships  with  600  men. 
Among  them  were  Alvar  Nuiiez^  Cabega  de  Vaca,  Capt.  Andres 
Dorantes,  and  Alonzo  del  Castillo  Maldonado,  Father  Juan 
Xuarez,  and  Juan  Palos,  layman,  and  three  other  Franciscans, 
The  expedition  sailed  from  San  Lucar  June  17,  1527.  After 
various  mishaps  while  wintering  among  the  islands,  Narvaez 
reached  the  coast  of  Florida,  April  14,  1528,  with  five  vessels, 
having  on  board  400  men  and  eighty  horses.  Two  days  later,  in 
a  bay  called  de  la  Cruz,*  the  governor  landed  and  took  formal 
possession  of  the  country  in  the  name  of  his  sovereign.  About 
the  1st  of  May  Narvaez  struck  out  into  the  interior  with  300 
men  and  forty  horses,  while  the  ships  were  ordered  to  proceed 
along  the  coast  to  the  first  good  harbor,  and  there  await  his  com- 
ing. The  separation  of  the  forces  was  final.  In  vain  did  the 
ships  hover  along  the  coast  for  more  than  a  year  afterwards. 
No  tidings  came  of  the  gallant  army  last  seen  entering  the  ever- 
glades of  Forida. 

*6enerally  thought  to  be  Tampa  Bay,  but  Jno.  Fiske,  on  the  evidence 
of  Sebastian  Cabot's  map,  believes  it  was  Apalache.

X  The  Materials  of  Early  Texan  History. 

After  a  bewildering  march  of  three  months,  the  Spaniards  re- 
turned to  the  sea.  Not  finding  their  ships,  they  built,  at  a  place 
called  Bahia  de  los  Caballos,*  five  boats  each  twenty-two  cubits 
in  length.  Into  these  the  Spaniards,  now  reduced  to  249  men, 
crowded,  and  set  sail  for  Las  Palmas  Sept.  22,  1528.  Seven 
days  later  the  voj'agers  passed  through  the  channel  between  the 
mainland  and  an  island,  probabl}^  Santa  Rosa.  Afterwai'ds 
landing  several  times  for  water,  they  were  as  often  repelled  with 
loss  b}'  hostile  Indians.  About  November  1,  the}''  passed  a  great 
river,  whose  strong  current  bore  their  boats  out  to  sea  and  fresh- 
ened the  water  of  the  briny  ocean  far  from  the  shore. 

This  was  evidently  the  Mississippi.  Pursuing  the  same  west- 
erly course  six  days  longer,  the  boats  of  Cabeea  de  Vacaand  Do- 
ran  tes  were  stranded  on  an  island  near  an  unknown  coast.  The 
island,  estimated  at  five  leagues  in  length  and  one-half  league 
in  breadth,  and  only  two  leagues  distant  from  the  mainland  at 
the  farthest  point,  was  called  b}^  the  Spaniards,  Malhado.  Gal- 
veston Island,  somewhat  longer  than  this,  otherwise  suits  the 
description. 

After  five  or  six  years  servitude  among  savages  on  the  island, 
Cabega,  with  an  only  companion,  crossed  over  to  the  mainland, 
and  proceeded  down  the  coast,  passing  four  large  rivers,  and 
stopping  at  a  bay  they  supposed  to  be  Espiritu  Santo.  Here, 
from  some  of  his  countrymen,  Cabeea  learned  the  fate  of  the 
other  boats,  to-wit:  that  one  had  been  "  upset  at  the  confluence 
of  the  rivers,"  drowning  four  men;  that  one  boat  had  landed 
lower  down  the  coast,  and  the  crew,  being  too  weak  to  resist, 
were  all  killed  by  savages;  and  that  the  last,  in  which  was  Nar- 
vaez  himself,  with  one  or  two  companions,  slipped  its  stone 
anchor  during  a  norther  and  was  driven  to  sea,  and  never  heard 
of  more.  In  the  course  of  six  years  all  the  unfortunates,  except 
nine,  had,  from  various  causes,  perished.  And  four  of  these, 
Cabega  de  Vaca,  Andres  Dorantes,  Alonzo  del  Castillo  Maldonado, 
and  Estevanico,  a  Barbary  negro,  plotted  an  escape  to  the  Spanish 
settlements  in  Mexico.

In  September,  1534,  Cabega  de  Vaea  and  his  friends,  com- 
mending themselves  to  God,  ran  off  from  their  Indian  masters, 
and  began  their  journey  across  the  continent.  Their  course 
seems  at  first  to  have  been  westward;  but  after  a  few  days  travel, 
the}^  halted  and  rested  eight  months  with  the  Avavares,  one  of 
the  coast  tribes. 

Resuming  their  journey  when  the  prickly  pears  were  scarcely 
ripe,  they  proceeded  southwest,  parallel  with  the  gulf  coast,  till 
they  crossed  the  Rio  Grande*  and  came  in  sight  of  mountains.! 
Thence,  on  account  of  the  hostility  of  the  coast  tribes,  they 
turned  t  northward,  ascending  the  Rio  Grande  along  the  plains 
at  the  base  of  the  mountains  up  to  the  Conchos,  and  thence 
probably  along  the  route  conjectured  by  H.  H.  Bancroft  to  the 

♦This  stream  was  breast  deep,  aud  wide  as  the  Guadalquivir  at  Se- 
villa,  which  Buckingham  Smith  saj's  he  found  to  be  100  paces.  It  must 
have  been  the  Eio  Grande,  as  Mr.  E.  T.  Dumble,  the  State  Geologist, 
informs  me  there  is  no  other  river  west  of  Espiritu  Santo  Bay  whose 
normal  waters  are  of  that  depth  and  width. 

t  Called  San  Saba  Mountains  by  B.  Smith,  evidently  in  Mexico.  There 
are  no  mountains  of  that  name  in  Texas. 

i"  We  took  our  course  along  the  plain,  near  the  mountains,  which  we 
believed  not  to  be  distant  from  the  coast,  where  the  people  are  all  evil 
disposed,  and  we  considered  it  preferable  to  travel  inland;  for  those  of 
the  interior  are  of  a  better  condition,  aud  treated  us  mildly,  etc.  .  .  . 
Moreover,  we  chose  this  course  because,  in  traversing  the  country,  we 
should  learn  many  particulars  of  it,  so  that  should  God  our  Lord  be 
pleased  to  take  any  of  us  thence,  and  lead  us  to  the  land  of  the  Chris- 
tians, we  might  carry  that  information  and  news  of  it." — (Bucking- 
ham Smith's  Trans.  Cabeoas  Belacion.  edition  1871 .) 

The  reasons  for  the  turn  northward  when  the  travelers  were  beyond 
the  Rio  Grande  and  near  the  gulf,  and  but  a  few  hundred  miles  distant 
from  Panuco,  seem  satisfactory,  but  they  never  passed  the  30th  parallel  of 
latitude.  Whereas,  according  to  Smith's  first  theory,  Cabega  began  his 
journey  towards  the  north  pole,  and  went  hundreds  of  miles  in  that 
direction  before  turning  towards  the  center  of  the  continent,  making  a 
detour  of  thousands  of  miles.  H.  H.  Bancroft  errs  the  same  way  in 
making  the  overland  travelers  begin  their  journey  towards  the  north 
pole,  though  the  starting  place  is  rightly  given  as  being  near  Espiritu 
Santo  Bay,  Texas.

Rio  Petatlan,  on  the  Pacific  slope.  The  wanderers  reached  San 
Miguel  April  1,  1536,  without  seeing  on  their  ten  months  con- 
tinuous journeying  from  sea  to  sea  any  trace  of  idolatry  among 
the  natives.  Everywhere  Cabega  and  his  party  were  highly 
honored.  The  "Viceroy  Mendoza  and  the  Marquez  del  Valle 
welcomed  them  to  the  City  of  Mexico,  which  they  entered  in  a 
kind  of  triumphal  procession  in  the  latter  part  of  July. 

During  their  two  months  sojourn  in  the  capital  the  wanderers 
made  a  map  of  their  travels  for  the  Viceroy  and  wrote  a  Letter 
to  the  Audiencia  of  Espanola,  giving  an  account  of  the  fate  of 
the  expedition  and  of  their  subsequent  fortunes.  In  the  Letter 
mention  is  made  of  sand  hills  on  the  Panuco  side  of  Espiritu 
Santo  Bay. 

As  to  the  locality  of  the  shipwreck  of  the  Narvaez  expedition, 
Malhado  Island,  in  its  relation  to  the  Mississippi,  is  a  determin- 
ing factor  in  the  question.  Malhado,  fi-om  its  description  and 
environments,  must  have  been  either  modern  Santa  Rosa  or 
Galveston  Island.  If  Santa  Rosa,  and  east  of  the  Mississippi, 
then  the  great  river  whose  currents  drove  the  Spaniards'  boats  to 
sea  and  sweetened  the  ocean  waters  so  far  from  the  land  must 
have  been  one  of  the  petty  gulf  rivers  of  peninsular  Florida! 

The  Mississippi,  on  this  theory,  disappears  entirely  from  the 
record,  not  having  been  passed  at  sea  or  described  at  its  crossing 
elsewhere!  A  thing  almost  incredible,  that  this  mighty  stream, 
later  described  with  such  particularity  hy  all  the  chroniclers  of 
the  De  Soto  expedition,  should  have  beeu  crossed  without  special 
mention  by  Cabega! 

If  Galveston  was  Malhado,  then  the  great  river  five  or  six  days 
eastward  sail  in  open  boats  would  reasonably  be  the  Mississippi, 
and  the  bay  westward  down  the  coast  supposed  to  be  Espiritu 
Santo,  would  be  the  Texan  bay  of  that  name  to-day,  and  the  in- 
tervening rivers  would  be  the  Brazos,  the  Colorado,  the  Navi- 
dad,  and  Lavaca. 

The  sand  hills  referred  to  in  the  statements  of  the  overland 
travels  in  Mexico  as  being  on  the  Panuco  side  of  Espiritu  Santo 
Bay  would  be  the  sand  hills  noted  on  the  west  side  of  Espiritu 


The  Materials  of  Early  Texan  History.  xiii 

Santo  Bay  by  the  United  States  Coast  Survey*  in  1859,  and  the 
high  hills  to  the  south  would  be  the  elevations  near  Corpus 
Christi  Bay. 

Of  course,  in  these  conditions  there  is  only  a  general  corres- 
pondence with  the  record.  Exact  conformity  in  particulars,  as 
the  gulf  region  is  now  known,  could  not  be  expected  under  the 
circumstances,  on  any  part  of  the  known  route. 

It  only  remains  to  add  the  evidence  of  physical  geography. 
The  country  in  which  Cabega  and  his  party  ran  off  from  their 
masters,  and  whence  they  finally  began  their  ten  months  continu- 
ous travel  to  San  Miguel,  was  a  country  of  wide  extended 
plains,  making  off  northwardly  from  the  sea,  and  over  which 
roamed  countless  herds  of  buffalo,  and  a  land  where  flourished 
the  cactus  and  the  mesquit. 

It  is  perhaps  needless  to  say  that  these  conditions  were  never 
true  of  the  gulf  coast  east  of  the  Mississippi,  and  that,  with  the 
exception  of  the  buffalo  range,  recently  extinct,  they  exist  in 
full  force  to-day  in  Southwestern  Texas. 

There  was  nothing  which  Cabega  so  greatly  desired  as  to  be 
governor  himself  of  that  Florida  in  which  he  had  suffered  so 
much.  In  September,  1537,  he  arrived  at  the  Spanish  Court, 
only  to  learn  that  De  Soto  had  anticipated  him  in  the  appoint- 
ment. De  Soto  sought  to  have  Cabega  attend  him  as  a  subordi- 
nate; but  no  terms  of  agreement  could  be  reached.     These  two 

*Report  U.  S.  Coast  Survey  1859,  p.  325 :  The  northwest  shore  "of  the 
Bay  of  San  Antonio  (which  is  the  northern  bend  of  Espiritu  Santo  Bay)" 
is  the  delta  of  the  Gaudalupe,  a  low  alluvial  formation,  scarcely  raised 
above  the  level  of  the  adjacent  waters,  and  covered  with  a  dense  growth 
of  cane-grass,  jungle  and  forest  trees.  On  the  west  shore  the  elevated 
prairie  also  comes  to  the  bay  in  a  blulT  or  bank  of  twenty  feet,  and  is 
likewise  dotted  over  with  the  houses  of  settlers,  and  with  oak  or  hack- 
berry  trees.  The  soil  is  fertile,  the  range  for  stock  excellent,  and  the 
locality  is  said  to  be  very  healthy.  At  one  place  on  this  side  a  singular 
range  of  sand  hills,  known  as  the  Sand  Mounds,  approaches  the  shore. 
The  highest  peak  is  about  seventy-five  feet  above  the  bay.  The  mounds 
are  covered  with  bushes  and  the  valleys  between  them  filled  with  trees, 
so  that  at  a  distance  of  five  or  six  miles  the  whole  presents  the  appear- 
ance of  a  forest  of  live  oak  or  similar  timber,  forming  a  marked  feature 
in  that  otherwise  level  prairie  region.

remarkable  men  finally  parted,  one  to  go  to  Florida  and  his 
death,  and  the  other  to  South  America  and  disgrace. 

Before  Cabeea's  departure,  however,  he  wrote  a  complete  nar- 
rative of  the  Narvaez  expedition,  entitled  "La  relacion  que  dio 
Aluar  nuiiez  cabega  de  vaca  de  lo  acaescido  en  las  Indias  en  la 
armada  donde  yua  por  gouernador  Paphilo  de  narbaez,"  etc., 
and  published  at  Zamora  in  1542. 

In  1555  a  second  edition  appeared,  in  connection  with  another 
work,  styled  together,  "  La  relacion  y  comentarios  del  gouer- 
nador Aluar  nuiiez  cabeca  de  vaca,  de  lo  acaescido  en  las  dos 
jornadas  que  hizo  a  las  Indias." 

The  '"Comentarios"  was  an  account  of  Cabega's  government  of 
Rio  de  la  Plata,  and  written  by  his  secretary,  Pero  or  Pedro 
Hernandez. 

So  Cabeca,  besides  being  the  first  European  explorer  of  Texas, 
the  first  overland  traveler  across  the  continent,  and  the  first  to 
observe  and  describe  the  buffalo  on  the  range,  was  also  the  first 
historian  of  Texas. 

The  letter  which  Cabega  wrote  in  1536,  in  conjunction  with 
Andres  Dorantes,  to  the  Audiencia  of  Espanola,  and  his  book 
called  "  La  relacion,"  etc.,  may  be  considered  the  first  contribu- 
tion to  Texan  histor3^ 

The  next  entry  into  Texas  was  by  Coronado  in  1540-42. 

Pedro  Casteiiada  de  Nagera  is  the  principal  historian  of  the 
Coronado  expedition  across  the  Texan  panhandle  at  that  time. 
His  work  has  never  been  published,  and  we  barely  know  it  save 
through  the  French  translation  of  Ternaux-Compans.* 

Included  in  this  Ternaux-Compans  publication  is  also  a  French 
translation  of  Jaramillo's  account  of  the  expedition,  shorter  but 
well  written,  with  some  interesting  details.  Two  anonymous 
writers  on  the  subject  are  also  noted  in  the  text  immediately 
following  Jaramillo. 

On  the  death  of  De  Soto  at  the  mouth  of  Red  River  in  1542,  the 
army,  under  Muscooo  or  Moscoco,  marched  150  leagues  west- 

*The  Bureau  of  American  Ethnology  has  in  press  an  elaborate  me- 
moir on  Coronado"s  journey,  with  original  documents  bearing  on  the 
subject,  together  with  other  translations,  by  Geo.  Parker  VVinshlp.

ward  into  Texas;  the  next  year  Muscoqo  coasted  with  his 
men  in  seven  brigantines,  along  its  shores  en  route  to  New 
Spain.  The  whole  story  has  three  chroniclers,  the  Fidalgo  De- 
luas  or  gentleman  of  Elvas,  Biedma,  and  Garcilaso  de  la  Vega, 
all  noted  in  the  text.  The  first  is  a  loose,  desultory  statement, 
lacking  in  nearly  all  the  essentials  of  historj^;  the  second  is  a 
mere  compendium,  too  brief  to  yield  much  information;  the 
third,  though  wriiten  from  materials  gathered  forty  years  later, 
is  much  the  most  satisfactory.  There  is  a  substantial  agreement 
among  these  writers,  though  Garcilaso  de  la  Vega  puts  De  Soto's 
original  force  at  about  900  men,  or  300  more  than  the  esti- 
mate of  the  other  two.  He  also  makes  mention  of  Indians  on 
the  Texan  coast,  which  the  others  do  not. 

The  narratives  of  the  several  Rio  Grande  expeditions  which 
occasionally  trod  the  soil  of  Texas  from  1582-99,  are  recorded 
in  various  volumes  of  inedited  documents  of  Pacheco,  but  are  not 
accessible  to  the  general  reader,  and  what  is  worse,  there  are  no 
French  translations,  or  English  versions  besides  Purchas.  The 
leading  authors,  however,  such  as  Espejo,  Oiiate,  Villagra,  Padre 
Salmeron  and  others,  are  noted  in  their  proper  places  in  the  text. 

Otermin  and  Escalante  give  an  account  of  the  origin  of 
Isleta,  showing  that  it  was  founded  in  1682  as  a  refuge  for 
friendly  Indians  during  the  Pueblo  Rebellion.*  Isleta  is  the 
oldest  town  in  Texas,  but  there  is  no  ancient  authority  whatever 
for  the  statement  made  in  some  late  histories  that  it  existed  in 
1540,  and  was  visited  by  Coronado. 

J ouleV s  JournalHistorique,  Y>uh\ished  in  1713,  and  the  Margry 
Papers,  lately  brought  to  light,  are  the  best  original  authorities 
on  French  colonization  in  Texas,  though  Le  Clercq's  ^'•Establisse- 
ment  de  la  Foi"  and  Hennepin's  ^'•Nouveau  Voyage^''  embracing 
some  of  the  same  subject  matter,  appeared  in  1691  and  1698 
respectively.  French's  Historical  Collection  of  Louisiana  con- 
tains many  valuable  documents  on  La  Salle's  Texan  colony, 
including  an  English  version  of  Joutel,  Tonty,  Anastase  Douay,  etc. 

As  to  the  Spanish  colonization,  the  authorities  came  later,  and 

*Mr.  F.  W.  Hodge,  of  the  Smithsonian  Institution,  kindly  pointed 
out  to  the  writer  the  authorities  on  the  origin  of  Isleta,  Texas.

In  conclusion,  the  writer  has  tried  to  point  out  the  true  foun- 
dation of  Texan  history  in  relation  to  European  colonization,  a 
purpose  which,  so  far  as  he  knows,  has  not  been  previously  at- 
tempted. If  that  has  been  accomplished,  the  work  will  be  ap- 
preciated by  Texans,  and  perhaps  by  students  generally  of 
American  history.

right  and  duty  of  the  Free  States  to  dissolve  the  Union  in  the  event  of 
the  annexation  of  Texas.  This  expression  of  State  sovereignty  was  a

By  this  treaty,  negotiated  between  Mr.  A.  for  the  U.  S.  and  Luis  de 
Onis  for  Spain,  the  western  limit  of  Louisiana  was  extended  from  the 
Arroyo  Hondo  (the  conventional  line  established  by  France  and  Spain) 
to  the  Sabine;  and  Texas— then  a  Spanish  province— lost  about  10,000

Extract:  '•  We  hesitate  not  to  say  that  annexation  [of  Texas] ,  effected 
by  any  proceeding-  of  the  Federal  Government,  or  any  of  its  depart- 
ments, will  be  identified  with  dissolution.  We  not  only  assert  that  the 
people  of  the  Free  States  oicght  not  to  submit  to  it,  but  we  say  with  con- 
fidence they  icill  not  submit  to  it/' 

The  Free  State  opposition  to  annexation  was  caused  by  hatred  of 
slavery,  perpetuated  in  Texas  as  far  as  laws  could  perpetuate  it.  It 
would  have  been  otherwise  had  the  Texans  supported  Austin  in  his 
efforts  to  enforce  the  provisions  of  the  Mexican  Constitution  (Federal 
and  State)  abolishing-  slavery.  But  on  the  evolution  of  the  "Texas 
Question  "  in  American  politics,  the  influx  of  Southern  emigrants  over- 
whelmed the  old  settlers  of  Texas  and  utterly  changed  the  original 
character  and  policies  of  Austin's  colony. 

Speech  of,   upon   the   rights   of   the   people,   men  and

lutions of  seven  State  Legislatures  and  the  petitions  of  more  than 
100,000  petitioners,  relating  to  the  annexation  of  Texas.  Deliv-

to  July  7,  1838.     131  pp.,  8vo.     Washington,  1838. 

These  were  the  Legislatures  of  Rhode  Island,  Vermont,  Ohio.  Michi- 
gan, Massachusetts,  New  York  and  Pennsylvania,  all  hostile  to  the 
admission  of  Texas  into  the  Union. 

The  Massachusetts  Legislature  went  so  far  as  to  declare  '•  that  no  act 
done  or  compact  made  for  such  purpose  by  the  Government  of  the 
LTnited  States  will  be  binding  on  the  States  or  the  people."  Mr.  A.

A  caustic  denunciation  of  the  policy  of  the  LTnited  States  towards 
Mexico,  with  a  severe  arraignment  of  Texas  for  the  Santa  Fe  Expedi- 
tion. But  Texas,  as  a  belligerent  power,  had  the  right  to  invade  the 
territory  of  her  belligerent  enemy.  The  fact  that  the  Texans  carried 
along  a  large  quantity  of  merchandise  for  trade,  did  not  give  a  piratical 
character  to  the  Expedition.  If  the  Democratic  administration  leaned 
towards  the  Texans,  the  opposition  openly  sided  with  the  Mexicans.

The  statistical  information  on  Texas  was  Almonte's  Official  Report  io 
Santa  Anna  after  extensive  travel  and  observation  in  Texas  in  the  year 
1834.  ''The  statistics  of  Almonte,"  says  Mr.  Kennedy,  "form  the  proud- 
est testimonial  to  the  labors  of  those  fearless  and  persevering  spirits 
who  first  rendered  the  golden  glebe  of  Texas  tributary  to  the  enjoy- 
ments of  civilized  man.  and  supply  a  conclusive  answer  to  the  charges 
brought  against  the  Texaus  by  persons  who.  in  the  fervor  of  a  philan- 
thropic enthusiasm  in  behalf  of  the  Indian  and  the  Xegro,  are  ready  to 
sacrifice  not  only  time  and  money,  but  the  solemn  obligations  of  truth 
and  justice." 

Almonte  noted  one  school  in  Department  of  Bexar  supported  by  the 
municipality,  and  a  subscription  school  near  Brazoria,  in  Department 
of  Brazos,  and  three  common  schools  in  Department  of  Xacogdoches. 
The  wealthy  planters  sent  their  children  to  the  schools  of  the  United 
States.  Only  such  parts  of  the  "■  Noticia"  were  published  as  met  the 
approval  of  Santa  Anna.  Out  of  print  i.n  separate  form,  but  found  in

Dec.  1,  1843.      Young's  Mexico,  Appendix. 

In  which  Almonte  "  declares  by  express  orders  of  his  government, 
that  on  sanction  being  given  by  the  Executive  of  the  Union  to  the 
incorporation  of  Texas  into  the  United  States,  he  will  consider  his  mis- 
sion ended,  seeing  that,  as  the  Secretarj^  of  State  will  have  learned,  the 
Mexican  Government  is  resolved  to  declare  war  so  soon  as  it  receives 
intimation  of  such  an  act."  And  when  the  annexation  resolutions 
passed  Congress  and  received  the  executive  sanction.  Almonte  accord- 
ingly protested,  and  demanding  his  passports  left  Washington.  This 
abrupt  severance  of  official  relations  between  Mexico  and  the  United 
States,  coupled  with  the  Minister's  protest  and  previous  communica- 
tions, was  virtually  a  declaration  of  war.

1844. 

The  Senator  opposed  the  treaty  in  quite  an  able  speech.  As  to  the 
secession  threats  in  the  Free  States  he  said:  "Let  the  ^^orth  and  the 
East,  with  or  without  cause,  and  more  especially  from  a  temper  of  inso- 
lent intrusion  into  concerns  not  submitted  to  the  common  jurisdiction, 
manifest  the  inclination  to  dissolve  the  Union,  and  the  South  was  ready 
to  stand  by  itself.  For  one  Southern  member,  if  he  should  be  here 
when  proceedings  tending  to  this  issue  should  be  precipitated,  he  should 
be  found,  and  recommending  to  his  coadjutors  to  be  found,  calm  as  a

This  was  the  first  book  in  English  ever  published  in  Texas.  It  con- 
tains, besides  the  "  Laws,  Orders  and  Contracts,"  the  civil  and  crimina 
code  devised  by  Austin  and  used  for  the  government  of  his  colony  till 
the  laws  of  Coahuila  and  Texas  were  extended  in  1828  over  the  province.

This  Explanatory  Address  on  the  Affairs  of  Texas  was  written  by 
Au'.tin  while  a  prisoner  on  bail  in  Mexico,  to  vindicate  himself  and  the 
Texans  from  the  charge  of  disloyalty  to  the  Supreme  Government.

appended:  Virginia,  1793,  and  Missouri  in  1797.  A  schoolboy  in  Con- 
necticut, 1804-8 .  A  graduate  at  Transylvania  University,  1811.  Law- 
yer. Member  Missouri  Territorial  Legislature,  1813,  Adjutant  and 
inspector  8th  Missouri  regiment.  Circuit  judge  Territory  Arkansas. 
1819-20.  Founder  Texan  colony,  1821-22.  Kank  of  colonel  in  Mexican 
army,  with  autocratic  powers,  acting  on  occasion  as  legislator,  judge 
and  soldier,  1823-27.  Commissioner  of  Texas  to  Mexico  and  (1833-85) 
prisoner  in  the  dungeon  of  the  inquisition,  1834.  Commander  Texan 
army,  campaign  of  Bexar,  Oct.  and  Nov.,  1835.  Commissioner  to  the 
U.  S.,  183G.     Secretarj'-  of  State  in  the  Kepublic  of  Texas. 

Austin's  proper  place  in  history  is  with  founders  of  colonies  and 
builders  of  commonwealths.  All  that  Penn  did  on  the  Delaware,  Balti- 
more on  the  Chesapeake,  or  Oglethorpe  on  the  Savannah,  Austin  did  on 
the  Gulf,  and  more;  standing  by  his  colonists,  sharing  their  privations, 
breasting  with  them  the  storm  of  battle,  and  laying  down  his  life  among 
them,  leaving  his  ashes  on  the  banks  of  the  Brazos,  •'  in  the  midst  of  the 
people  he  loved  so  well.''

In  fact,  tlie  chief  merit  of  his  work  is  the  exhaustive  list  of  authorities

1845.     Cong.  Globe. 

Mr.  B.  opposed  annexation  unless  the  consent  of  Mexico  could  be 
obtained,  as  a  boundary  dispute  would  follow  annexation,  and  perhaps 
excite  a  war  between  the  United  States  and  Mexico.

Bernard,  Dr.  J.  H.  A  Journal  of  the  Massacre  of  Fannin's 
Command. 

First  published  in  the  Goliad  GuardASI^,  and  later  in  the  Galveston 
News,  as  edited  by  Judge  D.  D.  Claiborne.  The  author  was  one  of 
Fannin's  surgeons,  saved  from  the  general  massacre  for  the  benefit  of 
his  professional  skill,  and  a  cultured  gentleman,  entirely  reliable  in  his 
statements.  This  journal  is  important  as  a  vindication  of  Col.  Fannin 
from  the  charge  of  disobedience  to  Houston's  order  to  retreat,  and  as 
evidence  to  show  that  he  surrendered  his  army  to  Urrea  as  prisoners  of 
war.  Besides,  it  has  the  only  muster  roll  of  Fannin's  command,  all  the 
others  in  vogue  being  copies.  Contains  also  an  account  of  the  dis- 
mantling of  the  Alamo.

Muscoco,  De  Soto's  successor,  led  his  army  from  the  mouth  of  Red 
river  about  500  miles  westward  en  route  to  New  Spain,  After  reaching 
the  limit  of  the  corn  country  in  Texas,  the  Spaniards  became  discour- 
aged and  returned  to  the  Missisippi.  Biedma' s  record  is  meagre,  but 
he  tells  of  an  Indian  village  called  Xaudacho,  which  is  perhaps  our 
modern  Nacogdoches.  The  Spaniards  next  descended  the  Mississippi 
to  the  sea,  in  brigantines  of  their  own  construction,  and  then  coasted 
their  way  past  Texas  to  Panuco*.

This  narrative  of  the  N"arvaez  Expedition  and  its  shipwreck  on  the 
Texan  coast  makes  the  first  published  book  relating  to  Texas.  A  won- 
derful story,  but  not  incredible.  In  fact,  Cabega's  Belacion  bears  the 
earmarks  of  truth  throughout.

Library  which  cost  $35  in  1893, 

The  translator's  theory  was  that  the  Xarvaez Expedition  was  wrecked 
near  Mobile  bay,  and  that  Cabega  and  his  companions  thence  made  their 
way  across  the  continent  to  Xew  Spain,  The  Mississippi  river  was  a 
stumbling  block  to  this  theory,  and  later  it  seems  to  have  been  dropped.

Thos.  Buckingham  Smith,  who  died  soon  after  his  work  went  to  press. 

This  last  edition  is  much  the  better  work,  embodying,  as  it  does,  the 
translator's  matured  judgment  on  all  the  phases  of  the  Xarvaez  Expe- 
dition. In  this,  Smith  seems  inclined  to  believe  that  the  Texan  coast 
was  the  locality  of  the  shipwreck.

writes:  "In  a  little  volume  of  'Select  Poems  of  Sidney  Lanier,'  edito- 
rial taste,  iusio:ht,  and  discrimination  are  admirably  blended  with  care- 
ful inquiry,  minute  accuracy,  and  painstaking  labor.  Barring  a  little 
stiffness  in  the  excellent  introduction,  the  work  is  of  a  really  high 
order  throughout.  The  selections  are  among  the  choicest  products  of 
Lanier's  art,  and  admirably  illustrative  of  the  range  and  power  of  his

Castaneda  wrote  his  "Narrative  of  the  Expedition  to  Cibola"'  at 
Culiacan  after  his  return.  The  author  was,  perhaps,  but  a  private  soldier 
in  the  expedition,  but  not  without  some  literary  ability.  The  orig- 
inal has  never  been  published  (1895).  This  is  a  French  translation  of 
the  MS.,  a  quarto  of  157  leaves,  taken  from  Uguiua's  collection.  Before 
this  publication  Coronado's  expedition  was  made  known  to  the  world 
only  through  the  short  narratives  published  by  Ramusio  (in  appendix 
of  this  volume),  and  slight  notices  by  Herrera,  Venegas  and  Gomara. 
See  preface  of  the  French  editor. 

An  interesting  and  somewhat  systematic  presentation  of  the  subject 
under  three  heads: 

"  I.   The  army  and  outgoing  expedition. 

II.  The  description  of  the  country  seen,  with  the  manners  and  cus- 
toms of  the  inhabitants. 

III.  The  return  march,  and  the  reasons  for  it.-' 

The  dates,  however,  are  frequently  wrong,  being  one  year  ahead  gen- 
erally, as  154]  for  1540,  etc. 
Reference  is  made  to  Cabega  de  Vaca  and  his  traveling  companions. 
Included  in  this  volume  are  also:

Extract:  '"  This  [the  annexatiou  of  Texas]  can  not,  ought  not,  to  be 
borne.  It  will  justify,  it  will  at  length  demand,  the  separation  of  the 
States.  To  me  it  seems  not  only  the  right  but  the  duty  of  the  free  States 
in  case  of  annexation  of  Texas,  to  say  to  the  slave  holding  states,  We 
record  this  act  as  a  dissolution  of  the  Union.  The  essential  conditions 
of  the  national  compact  are  violated."

died  the  noblest  of  deaths,  fighting  for  liberty.  His  remains  mingle  with

"  Travels  Round  the  World,  1767-76."     London,  1791. 

The  distinguished  traveler  was  a  captain  in  the  French  Navj'^,  mem- 
ber of  the  Academy  of  Sciences,  etc.,  Paris.  He  passed  through  Texas 
on  horseback,  with  several  companions,  in  1767,  from  iSTatchitoches,  La., 
Tia  Nacogdoches  and  San  Antonio  de  Bexar,  to  the  Rio  Grande.  The 
observations  of  the  author  on  the  manners  and  customs  of  the  people 
are  instructive  and  sometimes  amusing.  The  Missions,  then  on  the 
decline^  are  thus  described,  with  their  peculiar  methods  of  converting 
the  heathen : 

'•  Four  Missions,  consisting  of  a  couple  of  Franciscans  each.  In  the 
houses  of  these  missionaries,  savages  who  have  been  taken  ia  war,  and 
on  whom  the  fathers  have  conferred  marriage  and  baptism,  receive 
their  maintenance  and  education.  .  .  .  Each  hovTse  contains  seven 
or  eight  men,  with  their  wives  and  children,  who  are  employed  under 
the  direction  of  these  monks  in  certain  articles  of  industry,  the  profits 
of  which  are  applied  to  the  emolument  of  the  Mission." 

In  recruiting  from  the  savages  "  they  use  the  thong,  and  lace  them 
like  wild  horses.  As  soon  as  a  savage  has  been  caught,  he  is  bound 
hand  and  foot  and  carried  to  the  residence  of  a  missionary,  who  makes 
it  his  business,  by  threats,  persuasion,  severe  fasting,  gentleness,  last  of

letters  from  Bishops  Timon  and  Odin  and  Fathers  Hennessey  and

Catholic  Missions  in  Texas.  The  author  is  somewhat  inclined  to  exag-

The  author  remarks  in  conclusion:  "In  this  brief  review  it  has  been 
impracticable  to  touch  upon  all  that  is  of  interest  or  importance  in  con- 
nection with  the  soils.  Their  physical  condition,  power  of  water  ab- 
sorption, percentage  of  humus,  details  of  plant  growth,  and  other  par- 
ticulars have  had  to  be  passed  over  almost  without  notice,  but  it  is 
hoped  that  the  presentation  made  will  prove  a  start  in  the  right  direc- 
tion and  be  followed  by  closer  studies  of  the  various  soils  of  the  State 
and  a  combined  effort  for  such  an  understanding  of  our  agricultural 
capabilities  as  will  result  in  the  rapid  improvement  of  everything  con- 
nected with  the  farming  interests,  which  can  be  eft'ected  by  agricultural 
geology  or  agricultural  chemistry.

Western  Florida,  which  then  extended  to  the  Mississippi.  The  boundary 
between  Louisiana  and  Texas  was  not  then  well  defined.  This  was  the 
year  in  which  the  dominion  of  this  region  passed  to  the  United  States, 
and  of  course  it  marks  the  beginning  of  its  American  history.

the  story  of  Mexican  perfidy  and  cruelty.  Came  to  Texas  in  1835  with 
the  New  Orleans  Grays.  Having  sent  to  Germany  for  publication  his 
MS.  of  "  Texas  und  seine  Kevolution,"  he  went  off  to  California  in 
1843.  Was  killed  in  1870  by  Indians  in  that  state,  a  short  distance  from 
the  town  of  Ehrenberg  he  had  founded  in  Arizona.  Ehrenberg's  book

The  Expedition  set  out  from  Austin  June  18,  1841 .  Six  companies, 
270  men,  1  cannon,  14  wagons  with  goods,  2  wagons  belonging  to  Gen. 
H.  McLeod,  1  wagon  for  the  commissioners  (W.  G.  Cooke,  Antonio  de 
Navarro,  and  Dr.  K.  F.  Brenham),  and  1  ambulance  for  the  sick.  The 
object  was  the  political  jurisdiction  of  the  country,  if  the  Mexicans 
were  willing;  but,  at  all  events,  the  opening  of  trade.

A  careful  perusal  of  these  letters  will  indicate  the  difficulties  of  Fan- 
nin's position  and  how  he  nobly  met  them.  Fannin,  trained  at  West 
Point,  was  an  accomplished  soldier. 

Fannin  received  Houston's  order  to  fall  back  on  Victoria,  March  15. 
and  proceeded  at  once  to  obey  by  collecting  his  scattered  troops.  On 
the  retreat  Fannin  was  attacked  by  a  siiperior  number  of  Mexicans,  and 
after  a  gallant  fight  compelled  to  surrender  his  army  as  prisoners  of 
war.  In  a  few  days  followed  the  inhuman  massacre  which  excited  the 
horror  of  the  civilized  world.  It  is  to  Fannin's  credit  that  he  delayed 
his  retreat  awhile  to  save  AVard  and  his  men  at  Eefugio.  And  this  was 
not  contrary  to  the  spirit  of  Houston's  order.  If  it  be  said  that  he 
dawdled  on  the  retreat,  even  when  begun,  that  may  be  admitted;  but 
some  allowance  should  be  made  to  a  man  who  had  led  a  military  force

A  scientific  traveler,  not  without  political  convictions,  the  author 
says :  While  in  ''the  littlewooden  village  of  Washington,""  Ark., ''General 
Houston  was  here,  leading  a  mysterious  sort  of  a  life,  shut  up  in  a  small 
tavern,  seeing  nobody  by  day  and  sitting  up  all  night.  The  world  gave 
him  credit  for  passing  his  waking  hours  in  the  study  of  trente  et  quar- 
ante  and  sept  a  lever,  but  I  had  been  in  communication  with  too  many 
persons  of  late,  and  had  seen  too  much  passing  before  my  eyes  to  be  ig- 
norant that  the  little  place  was  the  rendezvous  where  a  much  deeper 
came  than  faro  or  rouge  et  noir  was  being  played.  There  were  many 
persons  at  the  time  in  the  village  from  the  States  lying  adjacent  to  the 
Mississippi,  under  the  pretense  of  purchasing  government  lands,  but 
whose  real  object  was  to  encourage  the  settlers  in  Texas  to  throw  off" 
their  allegiance  to  the  Mexican  government.*'

Who  the  Fidalgo  Deluas  was  is  not  yet  known,  though  supposed  by 
some  to  have  been  Alvaro  Fernandez,  one  of  De  Soto"s  soldiers.  A 
rather  confused  narrative  of  the  De  Soto  expedition,  from  which  it  is 
hard  to  get  a  definite  idea  of  the  route.  After  the  death  of  De  Soto  at 
mouth  of  Ked  lliver,  May,  1542,  Muscoco  attempted  with  his  army  to 
reach  Xew  Spain  by  a  march  overland  through  the  present  territory  of 
Texas.  After  going  150  leagues  westward  to  the  Daycao  river,  on  the 
border  of  the  deserts,  the  Spaniards  saw  nothing  but  starvation  ahead, 
and  returned  to  the  Mississippi.  This  river  was  perhaps  the  Colorado, 
or  possibly  the  Pecos.  Cabeea  de  Vaca  was  frequently  referred  to  by 
the  bewildered  Spaniards.  An  account  of  the  descent  of  the  Missis-

The  most  readable  of  the  original  narratives  of  the  De  Soto  expedi- 
tion, and  written  about  40  years  afterwards,  from  statements  of  sur- 
vivors and  documents  extant.  From  De  Soto's  burial  place  on  the 
Mississippi,  this  writer  traces  the  expedition  westward  to  the  region 
where  provisions  failed,  perhaps  on  the  high  plains  of  western  Texas, 
and  thence  back  to  the  Mississippi,  and  down  that  stream  in  some  rude 
caravels,  fighting  their  way  through  hostile  Indians  to  the  sea.  After 
a  little  rest,  the  Spaniards,  turning  their  prows  westward,  skirted  along 
the  northern  and  western  gulf  shores,  landing  and  resting  occasionally 
on  the  coast  of  present  Texas.  '  This  narrative,  considered  a  romance 
by  some  and  highly  admired  by  others,  is  clear  and  precise  in  state- 
ment, and  more  satisfactory  than  any  other  extant.  No  translation 
proper  into  English.

Takes  the  ^Mexican  side  of  the  question  as  against  Texas;  opposed

said:  ''I  abhor  offensive  wars,  and  if  Texas  pleases  to  go  out  of  this 
Union,  she  shall  never  be  called  to  account  for  it  by  force  of  arms,  if 
my  vote  or  influence  can  prevent  it.  ...  I  do  not  believe  in  a  gov- 
ernment of  bayonets  and  gunpowder  at  this  age  of  the  world.  The 
people  and  each  State  must  govern  themselves ;  or  if  they  see  fit  to  leave

her  jurisdiction  ceased  in  Texas,  was  anxious  for  Indian  depredations

Son  to  Joseph  L.  Hogg,  congressman  in  the  Republic  and  later  Con-

of  the  anti-slavery  struggle  in  the  United  States  till  its  triumph  and 
Civil  War  in  1861.  Not  written  in  that  dispassionate  tone  naturally  ex- 
pected of  a  philosophic  foreigner.  The  treatment  of  Texas  in  volume 
1  (1828-45)  especially  lacks  judicial  fairness.  Still  a  good  history,  and 
worthy  of  study.

full  rank  of  General  in  the  C.  S.  Army.  However  well  the  author  may

his  office.  The  fatal  step  had  been  taken  as  to  the  United  States,  and 
this  last  contention  was  merely  between  the  Lone  Star  and  the  Stars 
and  Bars,  whether  Texas  should  stand  alone  or  enter  a  new  Union.  In

Of  all  the  worthies  of  the  Texan  Eepublic,  Gen.  Houston  is  the  only 
one  who  has  found  a  biographer.  And  he  has  biographies  many  (noted 
herein),  and  all  written  in  the  strain  of  admiring  friendship.  Texas 
had  grown  strong  enough  to  ask  for  admission  as  a  separate  state  in 
Mexican  union  before  Houston's  arrival  here.  But  his  promotion  was 
rapid,  and  since  the  battle  of  San  Jacinto,  the  most  prominent  figure  in 
Texan  history.    May  be  fairly  called  "  The  Apostle  of  Annexation."

to  his  wretched  life  as  a  prisoner  of  war  in  Mexico  in  1841-42.  A  great 
work. 

''As  a  writer,""  says  Dr.  Randall,  "  he  [Geo.  \V.  Kendall]  .  .  .  pos- 
sessed the  rare  art  of  giving  the  most  dry  details  all  the  vivid  interest 
of  a  well-told  tale.  His  style  was  vigorous,  direct,  and  crisp,  while  it 
liad  a  niost  captivating  ease  and  unstudiedness;  and  gleams  of  quaint

Kendall's  best  work  is  undoubtedly  "  The  Narrative  of  the  Santa  Fe

Education  in  Texas.     Chapter  in  Scarff's  Yoakum. 

A  plain  and  unvarnished  statement  of  the  origin  and  establishment 
of  the  University  of  Texas:  "based  on  the  facts  and  records,"  it  may 
be  accepted  as  entirely  trustworthy.  While  the  origin  of  the  Uni- 
versity is  due  to  President  Lamar,  the  credit  of  its  final  establishment 
justly  belongs  to  Gov.  Eoberts  and  his  administration.  Senator  John 
C.  Buchanan,  of  Wood  county,  introduced  the  bill  establishing  the  Uni- 
versity, which,  with  some  few  amendments,  became  the  law.  Among 
its  strong  supporters  were  Senators  R.  M.  Wynne,  John  M.  Duncan, 
John  Young  Gooch  and  A.  W.  Terrell.  At  the  special  session  of  the 
Legislature,  April,  1882,  Senator  Buchanan,  as  Chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  Education,  reported  Senate  bills  20  and  22  by  substitute,  which 
finally  passed,  giving  the  University  2,000,000  acres  of  land,  and  placing 
it  upon  a  firm  footing.

"  It  is  a  well  written  history  of  the  Recollect  Missions  and  La  Salle's 
voyages,"  says  Shea,  "  the  rest  is  satire."  Of  the  three  parts  of  the 
work,  the  third  is  historical,  noting  La  Salle's  descent  of  the  Missis- 
sippi, his  Texan  colony  at  Fort  St.  Louis,  and  his  tragic  death;  of 
which  this  is  the  first  printed  account.  Book  soon  suppressed  by  the

Admiral  Bauclin''s  French  fleet,  returning  from  the  reduction  of  Vera 
Cruz,  touched  at  Velasco,  and  thence  sailed  to  Galveston.  The  admiral, 
with  two  attendants,  Chaucart  and  the  author,  landed  at  Velasco,  May 
5,  and  proceeded  under  the  conduct  of  Gen.  Thos.  Jefferson  Green  to 
Col.  Wharton's,  four  leagues  distant.  The  next  morning,  Lieut.  Clen- 
denning,  of  the  Texan  army,  set  out  with  the  French  party,  in  Col. 
Groce's  carriage,  to  Houston,  where  they  all  arrived  on  the  Sth.  After 
several  days  of  festivities  at  the  Texan  capital  with  President  Lamar 
and  Dr.  Ashbel  iSmith,  the  distinguished  visitors  proceeded  by  steam- 
boat down  Buffalo  Bayou  and  rejoined  the  fleet  at  Galveston.  Admiral 
Baudin" s  favorable  report  of  Texas  doubtless  hastened  the  recognition 
of  the  Kepublic  by  France.

Houston,  the  hero  of  San  Jacinto,  Texas  owes  more  to  Commodore

"  There  are  48  Mexican  officers  and  near  000  men  prisoners  at  and 
near  Galveston,  besides  a  few  in  this  place  [Velaseo].  .  .  .  I  exam- 
ined in  Quintana  many  of  the  arms  taken  at  the  battle  of  San  Jacinto, 
and  am  not  surprised  that  the  Mexicans  were  defeated,  as  the  muskets 
are  of  Spanish  make  and  appear  to  have  been  wortliless  many  years 
ago." 

As  to  the  war,  "Texas  was  obliged  to  defend  herself  against  those 
who  made  war  upon  republicanism-  so  that  her  present  position  pro- 
ceeds not  from  her  own  revolutions,  but  from  those  of  Mexico." 

Not  the  truth,  when  he  says  that  Texas  "•  as  a  State  has  sustained  itself 
by  men  and  means  drawn  wholly  from  a  distance."     The  battle  of  San

"France  and  England  in  North  America,"  and  fully  equal  to  any  of  its 
predecessors  in  style  and  interest.  The  latter  part  of  the  book  has  La 
Salle's  scheme  of  planting  a  colony  on  the  Mississippi,  and  of  his  actual 
work  In  Texas.  We  feel  after  reading  Dr.  Parkman's  "  La  Salle  and  the 
Great  West,"  that  there  is  nothing  more  to  be  said  on  the  subject  of 
French  colonization  in  Texas.  The  most  scholarly  and  ornate  historical

on  the  ground  of  the  impossibility  of  miracles,  but  because  alleged  to  be

In  opposition  to  it,  argued  in  support  of  the  Connecticut  legislative 
resolution,  May,  1845,  one  clause  of  which  reads  thus :  "  Kesolved  that 
a  measure  so  unfounded  in  principle,  so  dangerous  as  a  precedent!  and 
so  destructive  in  its  tendency  to  the  peace  and  prosperitv  of  the  coun- 
try and  the  objects  of  the  Union,  can  never  receive  the  sanction  of  the 
people  of  Connecticut." 

The  annexation  of  Texas  shook  the  Union  to  its  foundation.  The  ex- 
tension of  slavery  was  the  chief  objection  in  the  Xorth;  but  there  were 
besides  this,  good  consmutlonal  grounds  of  objection,  recognized  by 
statesmen  North  and  South.  ^  ^

Of  special  interest  to  students  of  Texan  history,  as  it  treats  of  the 
group  of  missions  around  El  Paso  del  Norte,  including  the  famous 
Isleta  settlement  made  by  Gov.  Otermin  in  1682. 

The"'Theatro  Americano'"  was  first  published  in  1746,  in  Mexico. 
There  is  no  English  version.  Its  testimony  on  the  state  of  the  Texan 
Presidios  and  Missions  at  that  time  is  worthy  of  credit.

posed to  the  annexation  of  Texas,  and  as  he  would  be  to  the  incorpo- 
ration of  new  territory  into  the  Union  from  any  quarter,  north  or 
south.  He  also  supported  the  various  resolutions  of  the  Massachusetts 
Legislature  against  the  annexation,  from  March  10, 1838,  to  March,  18J5; 
a  copy  of  all  of  which  is  printed  with  the  speech.  The  first  resolution 
was  "  an  earnest  and  solemn  protest  against  the  incorporation  of  Texas 
into  this  Union,  and  a  declaration  that  no  act  done  or  compact  made  for 
such  purpose  by  the  government  of  the  United  States  will  be  binding

This  book,  compiled  from  authentic  sources,  may  be  considered  in  the

Texas,  with  sketches  of  many  of  the  most  noted  Texan  Indian  fighters 
and  frontiersmen.  The  account  of  the  Parker  Fort  massacre,  with  its

TEXAS  VETERANS  AND  DAUGHTERS  OF  THE 
REPUBLIC. 


Texas  Veterans.  The  veterans  of  early  Texas,  pursuant 
to  a  call  made  by  Gen.  J.  B.  Bobertson,  at  Corsicana,  convened 
in  the  city  of  Houston,  May  13,  1873,  and  effected  the  next  day 
an  organization  under  the  name  of  "  The  Texas  Veteran  Associ- 
ation." Guy  M.  Bryan  delivered  an  appropriate  address,  and 
a  constitution  was  adopted. 

President,  F.  W.  Johnson;  First  Vice-President,  W.  J.  Rus- 
sell; Second  Vice-President,  Walter  P.  Lane;  Secretary,  Geo. 
Bringhurst,  M.  A.  Bryan  having  declined  the  honor. 

Since  1873  there  haA'^e  been  annual  meetings  of  the  veterans  at 
various  cities  in  the  State,  and  publications  of  their  proceedings, 
including  addresses. 

The  twenty -second  or  last  annual  meeting  at  Houston,  April 
20-22,  1895. 

Welcome  address  by  Judge  N.  G.  Kittrell,  and  response  by 
the  veteran  Ex-Gov.  Francis  R.  Lubbock. 

Memorial  address  by  Rev.  Geo.  C.  Rankin,  in  honor  of  the 
twenty-seven  dead  members  since  the  last  meeting.  Messrs. 
Lubbock,  Darden,  and  Claiborne  also  spoke,  but  briefly,  in  tes- 
timony of  the  virtues  of  their  departed  comrades. 

The  Daughters  of  the  Republic  received  the  thanks  of  the  Vet- 
erans for  having  done  so  much  to  make  their  reunion  a  success, 
especially  for  securing  steamboat  transportation  to  the  battlefield 
of  San  Jacinto,  and  the  elegant  dinner  on  the  ground. 

One  of  the  objects  of  this  worthy  association  is  to  preserve 
"  the  name  of  every  soldier  and  seaman  of  the  Republic  of  Texas;" 
and  another  is  "to  bring  about  a  more  intimate  acquaintance 
[253J 


254  Texas  Bibliograpiiv. 

and  intercourse  for  mutual  assistance."  Eligibility  to  member- 
ship depends  upon  tlie  rendition  of  honorable  service  to  Texas, 
civil  or  military,  from  1820  to  1845.  The  veterans  of  the  heroic 
times  of  Texas,  who  brought  an  empire  into  the  Union,  are 
rapidly  passing  to  the  other  life;  but  their  deeds  will  always  be 
held  in  grateful  remembrance  b}^  the  lovers  of  liberty. 

The  present  officers:  President,  Guy  M.  Bryan;  First  Vice- 
President,  J.  M.  Hill;  Second  Vice-President,  Fred  Gentry; 
Secretary,  Stephen  H.  Darden;  Assistant  Secretary  and  Treas- 
urer, F.  R.  Lubbock;  Marshal,  J.  R.  Fenn;  Chaplain,  J.  M. 
Wesson. 

Daughters  of  the  Republic.  The  Daughters  of  the  Re- 
public of  Texas  organized  at  Houston  in  the  fall  of  1891,  at  the 
residence  of  Mrs.  Andrew  Briscoe,  representatives  being  present 
from  Galveston,  Brazoria  and  Harris  counties.  The  prime 
movers  in  the  matter  appear  to  have  been  Miss  Hallie  B.  Br3^an 
and  Miss  Bettie  Ballinger.  The  officers  elected  were:  Presi- 
dent, Mrs.  Anson  Jones;  Vice-Presidents,  Mrs.  Briscoe,  Mrs.  W. 
P.  Ballinger,  Mrs.  W.  E.  Kendall;  Secretary,  Mrs.  E.  H.  Vasmer; 
Treasurer,  Miss  Belle  Fenn. 

The  objects  of  the  association: 

(1)  To  perpetuate  the  memory  and  spirit  of  the  men  autl  women  who 
achieved  and  maintained  the  independence  of  Texas. 

(2)  To  encourage  historical  research  into  the  earliest  records  of  Texas, 
especially  those  relatin<^  to  the  revolution  of  1S;]5  and  the  events  which 
followed;  to  foster  the  preservation  of  documents  and  relics;  and  to 
encourage  the  publication  of  records  of  individual  service  of  soldiers 
and  patriots  of  the  Republic. 

(3)  To  promote  the  celebration  of  March  2d  (Independence  Day)  and 
April  21st  (San  Jacinto  Day) ;  to  secure  and  hallow  historic  spots,  by 
erecting  monuments  thereon;  and  to  cherish  and  preserve  the  unity  of 
Texas,  as  achieved  and  established  by  the  fathers  and  mothers  of  the 
Texas  Revolution . 

Any  woman  may  be  eligible  for  membership  who  is  of  the  age  of 
eighteen  years,  and  whose  ancestors  were  of  the  Old  Three  Hundred,  or 
were  soldiers,  seamen  or  civil  officers  of  the  State  of  Coahuila  and 
Texas,  who  aided  in  establishing  the  independence  of  Texas,  or  served 
the  Republic  of  Texas  in  maintaining  its  independence  up  to  its  annex- 
ation to  the  United  States,  February  19,  1S4G.  Widows  and  wives  of 
men  who  rendered  such  services  are  also  eligible  to  membership.
